Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Students love reading about animals and especially pets. They want to know more about the pet animal they have at home whether it is a cat, dog, parrot, or fish.

These bright colorful books will help students learn more about their pet and become more responsible pet owners.

With the simple text students will learn how to take care of their pet. Students will learn what to feed their pet, how to play with them, and even how to groom them.

With these books I want to help teach students that pets are not only cute and cuddly but also need to be taken care of responsibly and lovingly.
